Crisis, valor y esperanza: repensar la economía

  • Susana Narotzky Universidad de Barcelona

Palabras clave: Economía, Reproducción social, Crisis, Valor, Escalas

Resumen

Crisis, valor y esperanza son tres conceptos cuya intersección y mutua constitución permiten repensar la naturaleza de la vida económica, tomando distancia de los modelos abstractos alejados de las realidades cotidianas de las personas comunes –modelos cuyas deficiencias quedaron dramáticamente expuestas con la actual crisis económica mundial–. Esta propuesta busca poner de relieve los complejos modos en que las personas intentan construir "vidas que merecen ser vividas", tanto para sí mismas como para las generaciones futuras. Esto supone no solo el trabajo asalariado, sino también estructuras de aprovisionamiento, relaciones sociales, relaciones de confianza y cuidado, así como una multiplicidad de formas de acción social que los modelos económicos dominantes consideran triviales, marginales o incluso contraproducentes. Una comprensión holística de los modos en que las personas organizan sus vidas económicas implica considerar al mismo tiempo la temporalidad del valor y la relación entre sus diferentes escalas. Supone, además, atender a la configuración espacial de la vida económica de muchas sociedades, en las que el futuro se ha convertido en sinónimo de movilidad geográfica. Así como al hecho de que “ganarse la vida” supone producir personas en sus dimensiones físicas, sociales, espirituales, afectivas e intelectuales.
